This story is a reminder that synchronicities aren't coincidences; they're signs we're aligned, connected, and being guided in ways we can't always explain.Maybe the universe is speaking to you too… are you paying attention?

Andrea Samadi reflects on seven years hosting the Neuroscience Meets SEL podcast and celebrates reaching 500,000 downloads. She shares seven strategies—clarifying mission and vision, defining the audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, building partnerships, and building momentum—and eight personal lessons learned, including the power of practice, research, adaptation, and praxis. This episode offers practical, science-backed guidance for anyone looking to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, well-being, and long-term results. On today's episode #377, we cover a break from our interviews, with a celebration episode! ✔ 7 Strategies that took our podcast from 0-500,000 downloads (including clarifying our mission, vision, defining our audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, and building partnerships). ✔ 8 Personal Lessons learned over the past 7 years (including the power of spaced repetition, research, adaptation and praxis). Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's EP #377 we will take a break from our interview reviews, and look back over the past 7 years, and 14 Seasons, as we hit an important milestone in the podcasting world, our 500,000th download. I remember when we hit the 300,000th marker, back in March 2023[i] we reflected back on the lessons learned in our first 4 years of hosting this podcast. I remember looking at the next milestone of half a million, thinking it was such a distance from where we currently were. It just took 3 years to get here, and now we have our eye on the next 500,000 downloads, which from here, looks like a lifetime away. As we reflect back over the past 7 years, many of our strategies remain the same as when we first began. Some strategies we did have to change. We reviewed some of these concepts on EP 279[ii] back in March 2023. As we review what got us here, I think that these strategies can be applied to anything we are doing, with a long-term vision. 7 STRATEGIES WE USED TO HIT THE 500K DOWNLOAD MILESTONE 1. Know Your Mission (What You're Doing) The mission of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast is to bridge the gap between neuroscience research and practical applications in education, business, and personal development. The podcast shares insights, strategies, and best practices to enhance learning, performance, and well-being by integrating neuroscience (which we like to make simple) and connecting it to social and emotional skills (SEL). Our goal is to provide valuable information listeners can apply in their work and personal lives to achieve peak performance and overall self-improvement, with a deeper understanding of how our brain works — something many of us were never taught in school. When the mission is clear, anything outside of this mission — applying neuroscience made simple to our daily lives — wasn't a match. This clarity helps maintain focus and ensures that all efforts align with creating tangible, positive outcomes. It's what keeps us consistent, translating complex scientific insights into actionable practices that lead to meaningful improvements in how we think, learn, and interact. From the very beginning, each guest spoke on a topic aligned with current neuroscience research. Each season was shaped by a framework connecting the six social and emotional learning competencies with foundational brain concepts — what I called Neuroscience 101, based on what I learned while studying with neuroscience researcher Mark Waldman.[iii] That's how our seasons were created. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly defined Mission of WHAT you do? 2. Know Your Vision with a Clear Why Your vision is why you do what you do. Once you know what you want to do, ask yourself — do you know why? This is probably the number one question I get asked when people hear that I host a podcast. They'll say, “Why? What made you decide to do this? Why did you launch a podcast?” It's a long story (I'll keep it short). When I purchased a website in January 2019, it came with a podcasting theme. The developer told me I could delete it, but I was already interviewing people for my work in schools — I just wasn't releasing that content publicly. A few months later, I wanted to present these ideas at a conference, but I was told I'd have to pay to present. That felt wrong — why pay to share the work I'd spent years developing? So, I decided instead to launch the podcast in June 2019. From the beginning, the podcast was meant to be a give-back — a way for anyone to learn these ideas without paying for access. To this day, it remains ad-free for that reason. My friend and long-time supporter, Greg Wolcott (Assistant Superintendent from Chicago, Illinois, Episode 7[iv]), reminded me how far the show has reached — now in over 190 countries — compared to the 50–100 people who might have attended that conference I wanted to present at. I truly believe that what's meant to happen will happen. As my dad would say in his Scottish accent: “What's for you, won't go by you.” So, with your vision, ask yourself: Do you know why you are doing what you do? I often go back to Part 6[v] of our Think and Grow Rich book study, where I dedicated an episode to my mentor, Bob Proctor. He always reminded us that our mission — whatever we want to achieve — becomes possible only once we first of all believe it's possible. He'd say: “What story do you want to tell? What scenes do you want to shoot? How do you want the movie to end? Be the director of your life.” Once you can clearly see something on the screen of your mind, (Your Mission) the next step is to bring that vision into reality. (Your Vision). That's exactly how this podcast began — with a clear mission and vision that led to action. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly written VISION of why you do what you do? 3. Clarify Your “What” and “Who” After defining your why and what you envision, identify: What exactly you're creating (e.g., “a neuroscience and education podcast”). Who it's for — your specific audience or community. I wanted our audience to reach outside of schools, into sports and the modern workplace. I remember a few people telling me to stick to one audience, and I just couldn't do it. I had a broader vision. Ask yourself: Who will benefit most from my message? What do they struggle with, and how can my work help?
In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews John D. Marvin, former President and CEO of Texas State Optical, shares his 25-year journey leading one of America's most iconic optical brands. He talks about growing the company from 100 to 130 locations and over $130 million in annual revenue, adapting to major industry disruptions, and mentoring the next generation of optometrists. John also dives into lessons on leadership, faith over fear, and the power of listening to customers. His story is a masterclass in resilience, innovation, and building purpose-driven growth in a changing marketplace. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to John D. Marvin, the hardest thing about growing a small business is implementing change. He explains that it's easy to keep doing what's familiar, but real growth requires the courage to challenge old habits and adapt to new realities. Marvin points out that while individuals struggle with personal change, organizational change is even tougher—because it involves employees, resistance, and the fear of losing people. Yet, without embracing change, he says, a business risks becoming irrelevant. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? John D. Marvin's favorite business book is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. He says it has helped him the most because it lays out the 13 core principles of success, not just for making money but for living a rich and meaningful life. For Marvin, the biggest lesson from the book is that success begins with mastering your thoughts — what you focus on and believe ultimately shapes the results you achieve. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? John D. Marvin, former President and CEO of Texas State Optical, recommends continuously learning from great resources to grow a small business. He often listens to John Maxwell's Leadership Podcast for insights on personal and team development, and explores podcasts or materials by authors whose books he's currently reading to deepen his understanding. Marvin emphasizes the value of ongoing education through audiobooks and practical leadership content, believing that consistent learning, reflection, and application are key to adapting and thriving in business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? John D. Marvin recommends using strong time management and scheduling tools to grow a small business. He believes that success often comes down to discipline — keeping promises, managing priorities, and staying organized. Marvin emphasizes using a reliable calendar or planner, whether digital (like Apple Calendar) or traditional (such as Franklin Covey or Day-Timer systems), to plan ahead and follow through on commitments. For him, effective scheduling isn't just about productivity — it's about building trust, consistency, and professionalism, which are the real foundations of sustainable business growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? John D. Marvin says the advice he'd give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple but powerful — just start. He admits that in his early years, he often delayed taking action because he felt he needed to study more or perfect his plan first. Over time, he realized that true learning and progress only happen through doing, not waiting. Marvin compares it to climbing mountains — you build the skills and confidence to tackle bigger challenges by starting with smaller ones. His message to new entrepreneurs: don't wait for perfect conditions — take the first step, learn along the way, and keep climbing.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss the concept that life works out for you. That whatever happens in life for you, it's always for the best. Maybe there's lessons you have to learn from adversity before you experience prosperity. John and Kelly provide a six minute clip from Joe Dispenza. He has a brilliant way of explaining the infinite intelligence of life. How you don't always see the big picture but it's critical to have the belief that life is working for you not against you. Always avoiding the victim mentality. In the clip you'll hear Joe talk about the idea of having a personal assistant who is working behind the scenes to make everything work in your life. You don't always understand why the personal assistant is doing this or that, but you have faith that it's all being done for your betterment. Whatever is happening is for your betterment. This is a powerful episode to listen to. Because once you embrace the idea that life inevitably works out for you, your life is never the same. It eliminates stress.

Send us a textEver feel like you're doing all the “right things” and still falling short of the life you imagined? We sit down with John Mitchell—author of The Living Secret and creator of the Think It Be It methodology—to unpack a bold idea with deep scientific roots: if 95% of your daily actions are unconscious, the fastest path to better results is reprogramming your autopilot. John shares how a painful season and a relentless study of Think and Grow Rich led him to a simple, repeatable routine that takes just 12 minutes a day and turns intention into reliable action.We trace John's journey from solid-but-stuck to a 25x income breakthrough, and we dig into what actually changed: radical clarity about who he wanted to be, what he aimed to achieve, and the exact steps that would get him there. He explains why the subconscious responds to repetition and emotion, how to write a concise daily script that touches career, health, and relationships, and why small wording shifts—like moving from “aware” to “evaluate”—instantly alter behavior. Leaders, founders, and athletes will appreciate the framework that links vision, systems, and people so the “right actions” start happening automatically by week three.Expect practical examples, from health choices to attracting the right partner, and a clear breakdown of conscious versus subconscious roles. You'll hear why this method lowers stress, boosts confidence, and creates a genuine sense of control as your brain gets the order it craves. If you're ready to stop winging it and design the next five years with intention, this conversation gives you the tools to start today—no hacks, just mechanics that compound.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who's ready for a leap, and leave a quick review telling us which habit you'll automate first.

In this solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan dives deep into powerful mindsets, flywheel business models, and unconventional strategies for signing and retaining high-end coaching clients. With Road Dog absent, Karl answers key audience questions and shares proven tactics from his own journey building a multimillion-dollar coaching company. Expect candid insights on how to think like billionaire founders, radically improve event conversions, leverage networks, and help clients start simple, profitable businesses that resist disruption—even in the age of AI. Key Topics Covered Thinking Like Billionaire Founders Karl explores how leaders like Jensen Huang (Nvidia) and Jeff Bezos structure their approach to business with an urgent, "always 30 days from going out of business" mindset. He discusses the concept of moving fast, staying ferocious, and viewing every opportunity as a potential river to divert, rather than dam. Flywheel Business Models Karl breaks down why thinking in circles and building business flywheels is crucial. He maps out the flywheel for running live events as a coach: events → attendees → authority → conversions → referrals → (back to) events. The secret isn't just in hosting events—it's filling them, and leveraging every attendee for ongoing referrals and networking. Networking for High-End Clients The episode highlights how to "level up" networking by moving from BNI groups to chambers of commerce, golf clubs, yacht clubs, and exclusive industry organizations. Knowing where your ideal clients spend their time is key. Creation vs. Elevation in Coaching Karl shares why helping ordinary people start simple, franchisable businesses (rather than just elevating existing owners) yields massive rewards. He explains how to choose business types resistant to major competitors and even AI disruption. Buying Ideal Clients If starting over, Karl would buy ideal clients by offering irresistible deals, knowing that repeat business drives profit. He recommends a scaled pricing approach for new clients and gives examples ranging from free first-time services to $0.01 Big Mac campaigns that explode customer acquisition. Lifestyle Flywheel and Planning He discusses the flywheel for lifestyle and success: thoughts → actions → behaviors → lifestyle. Emphasizing that planning and foundational habits—like reading and continuous learning—drive outsized business results. The Power of Learning over Knowing Karl makes the case that continual learning, voracious reading, and careful book selection lead to compounding insights, better instincts, and faster business growth—far more than just the facts you can recite. Notable Quotes "We're always 30 days from going out of business." (Jensen Huang via Karl Bryan) "You don't want to collect stamps—you want to collect crowds." "Funny equals money. You don't have to be a stand-up comedian, just authentically yourself and get a little bit better each time." "You've got to train in private to perform in public. That's Tom Brady 101." "It's more important to learn than to know. Learning is the discipline that reshapes the patterns of your thinking." Actionable Takeaways Think in Flywheels, Not Straight Lines: Map out every client acquisition strategy as a repeatable cycle for compounding results—especially with events. Level Up Your Networking: Graduating from standard business groups to industry clubs and networks where your target clients really spend time boosts your odds of finding high-end prospects. Buy Ideal Clients: Don't be afraid to make offers that lose money up front if you have confidence in your recurring model and results. Scaled pricing creates authority and long-term wins. Serve before You Sell: Lead with value—whether through events, free problem-solving calls, or helpful resources. Authority and referrals flow from helping first. Help Clients Start Simple Businesses: Guide ordinary people to launch "franchisable" businesses they can master quickly—and which large competitors or AI are unlikely to disrupt. Keep Learning and Reading: Choose biographies and "letters to shareholders" from the greats. Focus on reshaping your thinking, not just memorizing facts.

Some people choose entertainment during their commute or workouts. Some people choose to memorize concepts that transform their lives. This subtle shift in how we use our "bored" time can create extraordinary results over decades. In this final part of the Weekly series, I'm sharing the philosophy that drove my success: the power of ingraining life-changing concepts through repetitive listening. After 35 years of choosing coaching over music, self-help over entertainment, I've discovered that transformation happens not just through understanding ideas intellectually, but through hearing them applied over and over until they become part of your mental operating system. The Weekly offers you this same opportunity - 52 hours of live coaching application throughout 2026. You can sign up right now by going to TheLifeCoachSchool.com/theweekly. What You Will Discover: Why ingraining concepts through repetitive listening creates more lasting change than one-time learning. How to create your own mental "board of directors" using the wisdom of teachers you've studied. The critical difference between intellectual understanding and applied mastery of coaching tools. Why "I don't know" and "maybe" are dream stealers that keep you stuck in misery. How to evaluate worst-case scenarios from both your primitive brain and prefrontal cortex.

Transitions are never easy — whether it's moving across the world or simply adjusting to the everyday shifts of family life. In this episode, I open up about how my family is navigating a major transition and what it's teaching me about change, resilience, and holding space for one another.If you're in a season of transition — big or small — this conversation will encourage you to slow down, honor your own process, and remember that there's no one right way to move through change.
Most people try to “work harder.” The top 1% think differently……so money chases them.In this episode, you'll learn how to swap linear thinking for exponential results by using the same mental models elite entrepreneurs rely on. You'll discover how to:– Build systems and assets that work when you're not– Create leverage (people, processes, capital) instead of more to-dos– Extend your time horizon so short-term noise stops derailing long-term wins– Make asymmetric bets where the upside dwarfs the downside– Shift from scarcity to strategy—so you ask better questions and get better outcomesIf you've ever hit a “capacity ceiling,” this will show you how owners think like architects—and design businesses that scale without burning out.NEXT: If you're serious about scaling your health coaching without the grind or guesswork, then watch the Million Dollar Health Coaching Roadmap on our Youtube → https://youtu.be/xwSu1f1za6QIt's the full plan to grow from $0 to $1M+ as a health expert or coach.
In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John shares with the audience something he did with his class at the University of Texas. John had a student play the 20-year-old version of John Mitchell. And John played the current version. John then imparted lessons to the 20-year-old version of himself that would make his life way easier and way more successful earlier. And here's the essence of what it came down to. WORK SMARTER. But most of us are ingrained to just work harder. Big mistake. But the natural question is how do you work smarter?At the end of the day, it comes down to understanding HOW THE HUMAN MIND WORKS. And the linchpin issue is that 95% of a person's daily thoughts and actions are unconscious. Once a person gets the PROFOUND RAMIFICATIONS of that, their life is never the same. The BIG DOMINO DROPS. And here's why. Your success in life comes down to your DAILY ACTIONS. If 95% your daily actions are unconscious, if you are not gaining control over those unconscious daily actions you're playing the game of life at 5% of your potential.And here's the other key thing that comes from that. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND CONTROLS YOUR LIFE. It's either your greatest asset or your greatest nemesis and challenge. Contemplate that for minute. Here's why that's the case. We are all innately WIRED FOR SURVIVAL. That causes 75% of our thoughts be fear-based and we're reactive rather than proactive on our agenda. Therefore if you do nothing to override being wired for survival, you live life fear-based and reactive every day. It's a horrible way to live. But if you take control of your subconscious mind, and feed the succinct articulation of your life yourself each day, it's a whole new ballgame. You'll now wired yourself for success, rather than being wired for survival.So it's your choice. Do you want your subconscious mind to be your biggest asset, or do you want it to be your greatest challenge that you have to fight every day. It's up to you. Controlling your subconscious mind only takes 12 minutes a day.Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country.

Living in Bali has shown me something powerful: the duality of life. Beauty and mess, comfort and discomfort — they're always side by side.From vibrant ceremonies to burning trash, from slowing down to moments of feeling lost, I've noticed how often opposites live together. And the more I lean into that tension, the more I realize it's not a problem to solve but a truth to embrace.In this episode, I explore how holding both light and dark can open the door to growth and transformation.

Introduction Ever feel like the "hustle" is more like a hamster wheel? We get it. This week, we're diving deep with Joseph Rodrigues, a guy who knows how to ditch the friction and find the flow. Forget the grind; we're talking about making success feel less like a battle and more like a beautiful, unfolding dance. Here's the promise: By the end of this episode, you'll have a fresh perspective on how to achieve your biggest goals without the burnout. We're talking about unlearning outdated beliefs about "hard work," tapping into your true power, and discovering what "acting in a certain way" *really* means. Get ready to reframe your approach to success and embrace a more joyful, effortless path. Connect with Joseph: https://www.onlinetrainingforentrepreneurs.com/ Honest Overview This conversation was a deep dive into embracing life and entrepreneurship through the lens of flow, personal growth, and unconventional wisdom. Joseph Rodrigues and Brandon Handley explored how to dissolve limiting beliefs and conditions to unlock true potential, all while keeping it fun and actionable. Central insights revolved around the idea that true success isn't about grinding harder, but about working smarter and more harmoniously. Joseph highlighted the transformative power of his "flow-based" approach to entrepreneurship, emphasizing that opportunities and solutions emerge naturally when we release resistance and conditioning. Key Takeaways: Unlearning the Grind: The conversation kicked off with a stark reminder that "working hard" is often the first thing we need to unlearn about success. True power comes from alignment, not brute force. The Power of "I Am Not": Joseph's active reprogramming centers on dissolving the core belief of "I am not," which he sees as the root of many other limiting conditions. Mind Mapping as a Superpower: Joseph's signature style of using mind maps for content creation was celebrated. It's not just a tool, but a way to visualize connections and enhance comprehension, akin to rearranging neurological structures for optimal learning. Embracing the Rabbit Hole: From "Think and Grow Rich" to ancient alchemy, the discussion traced a fascinating intellectual journey, showing how foundational texts and concepts can lead to unexpected, profound insights. "Acting in a Certain Way" as Flow: This isn't about forcing actions, but about responding naturally and congruently when conditions dissolve. It's about moving with certainty, not attachment to outcomes. The Spiritual Game: The realization that personal development is inherently spiritual dawned as Joseph noticed happiness and peace arising without external validation. Collaborative Energy: A perfect example of the "spirit of the deal" was the story of turning a potential competitive situation into a collaborative win-win, highlighting how energy and a focus on synergy create powerful outcomes. The "School Community": Joseph's new venture is a space to discuss entrepreneurship, mindsets, and spiritual aspects in a flow-based, supportive environment, opening the doors for others to find their own natural path. The emotional stakes were high, as both hosts and guest shared authentic experiences of overcoming struggle, questioning conventional wisdom, and ultimately finding a more joyful and effective way to navigate life and business. The conversation was a testament to the fact that serious transformation can indeed be fun, expansive, and deeply empowering when we learn to trust the natural flow of life.

What if the addiction stealing your focus doesn't look like one?I thought I'd broken free from my phone — no social media, no endless scrolling. But in Bali, I discovered a different kind of addiction… one that hides behind productivity, messages, and staying “connected.”In this short, honest episode, I share the quiet moment that made me realize how easily my attention was being pulled away — and the small experiment that started bringing my creativity and calm back.If you've ever felt scattered, restless, or caught in constant doing, this might be the reminder you didn't know you needed.
From a modest upbringing in Gujarat, India, Neil Jesani has charted an extraordinary path to success as an entrepreneur and tax expert in the United States. Neil joins us to recount his inspiring journey from working in a New York City tax firm to launching successful ventures in HR software and cybersecurity. His story illustrates how unpredictability and a relentless entrepreneurial spirit can guide one to unexpected achievements, culminating in his leadership of a thriving tax and accounting firm in Florida.Mentorship and continuous learning are the cornerstones of Neil's and my professional growth. We talk about how a challenge to read "Think and Grow Rich" ignited my passion for consuming up to 50 books a year and shaped our business philosophies. The conversation delves into how small actions during an interview can reveal character, and how our reading habits have evolved to include audiobooks and podcasts. Foundational literature remains a guiding light in our hiring and business strategies.We also explore the intricacies of tax planning for business owners and the impact of AI on the future of work. Neil shares advanced tax-saving strategies for high-income earners and discusses the potential of AI to transform the job market. While some fear AI's impact on low-end jobs, we express optimism about America's future, emphasizing the importance of skill acquisition and adaptability. Our discussion highlights the resilience of Americans and the promise of AI-driven advancements in manufacturing, aligned with the themes of my upcoming book, "Escaping the Drift," set to launch on November 11th.CHAPTERS (00:00) From India to Success(09:10) Learning From Mentors and Building Culture(21:29) Problem Solving and Business Culture(28:53) Tax Planning Strategies for Business Owners(37:40) Future of Work and Human Intelligence(46:05) Investing in America's Future

It's time to dive back into the history of self-help and consider its impact on our understanding of how and who we are. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we are looking at the 1937 book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Think and Grow Rich sits on millions of bookshelves worldwide. It has remained one of the most enduring self-help books since its publication during the Great Depression. Despite documented controversies and allegations concerning the author, Napoleon Hill is still regarded by many contemporary self-help influencers as an important figure. For this special episode, Napoleon Hill invited me to meet with him, where he promised to reveal the secret to becoming a successful self-help guru. He tasked me with turning this into a formula, which I could then share with the world. If you are ready to hear this secret, you will. But not all are. Which is why, despite it being mentioned in every part of the episode, I have not spelt it out in the starkest terms. For to do so would diminish its potency. https://youtu.be/Cn6H17AFwPU 12 Steps To Thinking and Growing Rich as a Self-Help Influencer We will explore these twelve keys to becoming a successful self-help grifter—sorry, I mean self-help guru—that we can learn from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. Step 1: Lay Out Your Recipe for Success Your recipe should promise clarity, control, and a sense of certainty in an uncertain world. Step 2: Parade Yourself As Living Proof Don't be shy about telling people how your life changed from implementing your now tried and tested formula. Step 3: Build Fail-Safe Principles Be flexible with your words so that in the face of pushback and criticism, you can use them as reinforcement rather than undermining your idea. Step 4: Establish Your Inner Circle Join (or build) a fortifed circle of mutual back-scratching allies to grow authority by association and encourage aspirational sycophancy in your readers who dream of one day belonging to it. Step 5: Drip Your Secret Sauce Create and nurture a mystical secret, which sustains in your reader the sense that there is still something graspable they haven't quite embodied - reinforce this with testimonials from those who appear to get it Step 6: Nail Your Origin Story Your appeal hinges on your origin story, which should follow a hero's journey arc that starts with you in the reader's current position (facing a challenge, wishing for change, etc). Describe the moment when everything changed for you and how this epiphany led your life to transform into what it is now. Firmly suggest that reading your book might be that wake-up call for the reader's own heroic journey towards the life they've dreamed of but never yet dared follow. Step 7: Use Confidence as Currency Speak with confidence even if you are full of doubt and fear. The human mind is suggestible; the projection of confidence creates the perception of confidence. If you believe in your idea, it doesn't matter if it's true or not; you know that it's for the ultimate good of your reader to trust and follow you. Confidence is also what you are selling - people want to feel more of it, so if they see you wearing it, they will follow you. Step 8: Turn Your Beliefs into Facts Reinforce a picture of the world your readers want to believe in. Pick stories, metaphors, and research that move the frame of reality to one where your idea can be universally applied, and would be if all people were receptive to its power. Step 9: Present The Pen of Destiny Empower your readers to see reality primarily created by them as individuals. Emphasise the power of mindset, desire, and hard work, reinforcing the idea that taking personal responsibility for the quality of their life is what will bring the change they desire. Step 10: Expose The Inner Enemy Help your readers focus attention inwards to expose the biggest enemies of personal progress: fear,

What happens when your plans completely fall apart? In this episode, I share the story of how my dream Bali home slipped through my fingers — failed transfers, rigid agreements, and all. What I thought was a disaster turned out to be divine redirection, guiding my family to a home and community that were far more aligned.This isn't just about moving to Bali — it's about trust, surrender, and seeing setbacks as protection. Sometimes the Divine plan is different from our own, and that difference is exactly what we need.✨ Takeaway: Closed doors aren't failures — they're guidance. What feels like rejection is often redirection.If this story resonates, share it with someone who needs a reminder to trust life's detours.✨ Related episodes you might enjoy:• 151: What to Do When Life Feels Unstable - https://youtu.be/PvGGVUwMw4A• 150: When to Act Without Certainty - https://youtu.be/KzmxMyJWdGI

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I take you inside my rare book vault to reveal one of the most powerful success courses ever created… The Master Key System by Charles Haanel. This was the course that helped shape Napoleon Hill's thinking long before Think and Grow Rich and was even lost to history for 70 years!! I discuss how I found some original copies of the course, including one I paid $100,000 for, and share some of the most important lessons I've ever learned from any book. You'll also hear the actual testimonial that Napoleon Hill wrote to Charles Haanel in 1919, crediting this course for a big part of his success. The core message? Your environment doesn't shape you… Your thoughts about your environment do! And it all ties back to something Haanel called the Universal Mind, the same thing Napoleon Hill would later call the sixth sense. I break down how this concept works, why it's still relevant, and how to actually apply it in your life. Key Highlights: The one lesson from The Master Key System that changed my entire perspective Why you are the architect of your own destiny Understanding the Universal Mind, and how to tap into it How your subconscious mind connects to God and delivers answers Napoleon Hill's personal testimonial to Charles Haanel (I read it word-for-word) The role of concentrated thought and why it's more powerful than you think If you've ever felt like you're stuck in your circumstances, this episode is a wake-up call. Your thoughts are building your world whether you realize it or not, and once you understand how to direct them, everything changes.
